[Tremendous Upside]

According to twitter, Germany's XI is out, and Muller, Podolski and Gomez are all confirmed on the bench

Ballsy

 

[The Hardline]

Do not like this move by Germany. I think this changes my prediction to 2-1 still in favor of the Germans though they will have to work much harder at it.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Fantastic decision to keep Muller over Khedira on my Euro fantasy team.

 

[The Z Machine]

Ballsy move indeed.

 

[NewlyRetired]

Wow! The quality won't vary much since Germany is so deep, but it will be interesting to see if this affects chemistry at all.

Germany's front six of Klose, Schürrle, Özil, Reus, Schweinsteiger & Khedira has never officially played together.

 

[Tremendous Upside]

I can't decide if Low is giving Greece no credit, or too much credit

 

[Mjolnirs]

Definitely an interesting move by Löw.

Clearly Low was reading this thread yesterday and wants Klose to score in five different Euros/World Cups.

 

[TLEF316]

Did something happen? Maybe some sort of rule violation? Curfew?

 

[The Hardline]

Germans are making it look easy early. Should be a matter of time that they score one that counts.

 

[The Gator]

Gomez would have had two goals already

Greek chicks> hi.

Goal in T-3 minutes...

 

[The Z Machine]

Greece doing their Greek thing thus far. No posession, rock solid and composed at the back. Dangerous on quick counters, but likely overmatched. This game won't help Germany prepare for Italy or England (assuming they eventually crack the Greek D).

 

[The Z Machine]

Goal, Lahm.

 

[Native]

Goal in T-3 minutes...

Yes!

 

[Slapdash]

Goal in T-3 minutes...

 

[Sinn Fein]

Did something happen? Maybe some sort of rule violation? Curfew?

any of them carrying a yellow?

 

[El Floppo]

Early goal is the best thing for this game- now the Greeks have to go for it.... At least in the last 20 minutes. Until then- bunker down and don't give up any more goals

Despite the goal last game Podolski hasn't looked too good so far. Not surprised he was removed, he was subbed out last game.

Yayacatfight!!!!

 

[Major]

Germany beating Greece like they stole something....oh wait, they did

I just looked this up as it is an interesting thought. None of the three (Poldoski, Muller, and Gomez) had yellows in the first round games.

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Poor effort by Sniffilikipus on Lahm's goal.

 

[Sinn Fein]

 

[The Kansas Comet]

Well that was unexpected. Lousy work by Boateng

 

[ffldrew]

Well, Well, Well - who'd a thunk this?

 

[NewlyRetired]

Does anyone have Mjolnir's number to make sure he is ok?

 

[Native]

 

[The Hardline]

Something about the Greek team that makes me just not like them at all. Can't put my finger on it.

 

[Mjolnirs]

Ok, Germany, you can start finishing a few off these trips into the box now thank you.

 

[Quint]

i'm sure there's a joke about German defenses here somewhere.....

 

[The Hardline]

WOW. What a finish. Blistering one touch.

 

[Mjolnirs]

TOR!!! Danke.

 

[The Kansas Comet]

Great strike from khedira

 

[Native]

Seems like Germany can turn it on whenever they like...wonderful strike

 

[AcerFC]

That went downhill fast

 

[The Hardline]

Now it is just like they are practicing their attacks. The Greeks look lost.

 

[Native]

TRIVIA!

 

[Short Corner]

Should be 7-1....

 

[Mjolnirs]

Blood in the water.

 

[The Hardline]

This is getting out of hand. Looks like they are playing against a Junior Varsity team

 

[NewlyRetired]

Should be 7-1....

It still may be.

 

[NewlyRetired]

Can't wait for Sunday.

They're all Greeks?

 

[NewlyRetired]

If both Bedoya and Boca come to MLS, they will both go into the allocation process.Boca will almost certainly be grabbed by Vancouver with the #1 pick to re-partner with Jay DeMerrit.

Called this one pretty good for once, if the below tweet is to be believed (this reporter was the first to break the LeToux trade to Vancouver). ==========@IrfaanGaffar: Here we go - I expect the Vancouver #WhitecapsFC to announce the signing of US captain Carlos Bocanegra very soon.
